Unfortunately it appears they're going to push the censored western release on the entire world like they did Tokyo Mirage Sessions. In fact, I'd bet this port is censored even further.
SE slided them a DM, a very serious one. Damage control to avoid similar fate as Ubisoft. Control the problem to avoid calls from their investors over stock prices dropping.
Torishima is 100% right, it is a religion. A godless religion, that's why it's so toxic and poisonous to everything it touches. Someone tell them that age ratings don't matter at large. And "regulations" about things like male or female, or the "cover up because it's illegal" is a pure fabrication. They are being lied to.
@Spider-Kev My reading comprehension is fine. Your post at #45 is nigh incomprehensible for starters. Are you listing steps? You say no DLC, then next you state the 12 months of online included in the bundle has the Tour map tracks accessible as long as one remains renewing their membership which is incorrect with the standard NSO. The Expansion Pack NSO, the upgraded tier, is what has that perk of playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC without purchasing the Booster Course Pass.
@Tobiaku Even the men are censored in DQ III too. Truly bewildering that Mario can be shirtless in Odyssey, but Monster Wrangler Male has to cover pecs.
@ThatGuyWho See, this post proves when companies try to cater to these people, they still won't buy their games. So it's best to make the games for the fans and not make unnecessary changes for a spec demographic.
What if, and big if, Link can be played in a harder campain mode starring him after you complete the regular campaign akin to Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland GBA unlocking Meta Knight to play? That'd be a nice incentive to beat the game and play again for a different experience.
I played this a few times to secure Platinum Coins whenever it becomes a mission to finish a match crossing the final lap, but I don't want to invest too much time into a game that's strictly online where it'll inevitably become unplayable due to online being discontinued. Add an optional offline mode for however much money and I'll definitely grab it up.
With foreign text, context is lost and menus are confusing. I can play these emulated with fan translation patches by fans who made them out of passion and for free rather than this meager offering from NoA who won't bother translating 20 year old roms.
@TheFox XSEED was always terrible. And hypocritical too. They made fun of other localizers and censorship simultaneously doing the same thing. Senran Kagura games have cringy meme translations too. They even used rub the dub thanks for grub meme and made up a lot of nicknames.
Please allow us to remap the controls! Motion Control tied to important actions on Wii and two of the preset controls on 3DS was awful! Making the circle pad required to move instead of the directional pad for a 2D platformer.. what were they thinking?? If we can remap the controls to something close to the DKC trilogy, that would be ideal!
7/10. TTYD is a fine game in itself, but the iconic script didn't need to be touched. Literally refurbished game is just new meh graphics, a few QoL, dialogue 'updated' to appeal to current year sensitivities, and 30FPS.
I quite like the game didn't receive post paid DLC. Won't feel so conflicted not updating my version past 1.12 or whatever it was when Nintendo started to patch duplication methods for a single player game that had no affect on others whether you took part in them or not.
Saw a lot of examples of translations by people compared to the localization and I have to say it's the worst localized dialogue to be seen. They've inserted out of place words and names from deep internet spaces like 'chud' of all things; yeah, it's that bad. It’s like if you wrote “based” or “poggers” into a script. What's worse is that all other languages save for Chinese use the English script as a foundation for their translation, so yes, I'm avoiding this. Sad that once again, a game's script is butchered by localization.
@Not_Soos Article doesn't mentioned it, but along with the censorship, the rating was re-rated from M to T coinciding with the update. Look at the listing on Nintendo's own site if you wanna see for yourself.
@Joeynator3000 @PikminMarioKirby If the original can run at 60 I don't see why the remake can't either. Plus, it will mess with the timing of super guard and the other action commands. Not prioritizing the framerate in a game where timed attacks are everything seems very backwards to me. Having half the framerate that the 20 year old original has would be a real bummer if it ends up being part of the final game. 60 FPS looks better and feels more responsive. Anything you're used to will be laggy instead.
@Yosher You want even more conditions for matchmaking when it takes minutes searching for a battle and more for Tricolor; especially when the proportion of player count for teams is skewered? That's if you don't get a mirror match. No thanks.
@Yosher "But I mean that makes sense when one team sweeps the battles, I guess"
I sense doubt. The team with the more skilled players who win more absolutely deserve the win. Team Frye should win by their merits alone and get better. Not win just cause, or if they haven't so long. Maybe she'll have a chance when Nintendo gives her the least popular choice so there's less casuals losing for her.
What did I just watch? So much going on in video, just relay the news. This is a critique to the video format, mind you. Going overboard with the edits and skits to keep those with low attention spans from tuning out.
Yes, because DLC doesn't fix the issues like third games did. Also, you can sell back the prototype version for near retail price and buy the third version with almost no money loss. You spend more buying DLC on top; good luck trying to sell back DLC.
@sanderev Yes, but I thought Nintendo were going to start doing that with future games to further incentivise buying them since they experimented with locking icon purchases tied to playing. Wouldn't surprise me when they begin to implement it as a standard after that.
I was thinking Nintendo might lock the games icons for use if you didn't own the game like they dabbled with in this month's Super Mario World and Animal Crossing icons.
I liked Preecha's older design more. Her new look has so much goth egirl feel imo. Those specific hair colors are gonna attract some really annoying people also.
@Greatluigi @Dm9982 A flux of glitches like direct units attacking indirectly and game crashes when COs use their CO Power (Seems to happen a lot for Sturm and a few against Eagle from my own experience)
Conspicuously, they slapped the patch number 1.0 on the title screen, but has never patched once.
@Dm9982 "I knew WayForward wouldn’t just let the game rot as is. They’re way too good of a company, and know a large chunk of their fan base lies on Switch"
What's next, will they start programming out the existence of Mother 3 in later Smash Brothers iterations through chatacters, stages, trophies, and spirits in international versions? I'm sure they would if they could. So asinine of Nintendo, region exclusive icons.. Didn't stop them from releasing Famicom icons everywhere.
@Waluigi451 Yeah, like how it made sense to add a Famicom system, controller, and its accessories as icons through the NES grouped icons right? Because they were totally sold internationally, wait...
@Gryffin I agree with you on a certain level, but come on.. 'cost almost nothing to make'? Remake added remixed tunes, 2 brand new worlds, altered existing stage layouts, bonus stages are entirely new, CGI cutscenes that look better than the Mario Movie even all makes the original look like an early tech demo. All of that ain't cheap.
